On March 19, 2026, Sharjeel Inam Memon, Senior Minister of Sindh, expressed deep sorrow and condolences following the tragic incident at Mowach Goth, where a wall collapsed, resulting in the loss of 13 lives.

In his statement, Minister Memon confirmed that rescue and relief teams were present at the site and actively engaged in recovery efforts. He assured the public that the rescue operations were ongoing and that emergency services were prioritizing those affected by the collapse.

Memon also highlighted the immediate response from local authorities to address urban cleanliness and drainage systems in the wake of the disaster. He stated, “Emergency measures have been initiated to improve the city’s sanitation and drainage systems to avoid further disasters.”

The Minister further emphasized that the Karachi Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and all relevant administrative officials were personally monitoring the situation and ensuring efficient management of the relief efforts.
